This bowl seems to be the same as the Smart Cat Portion Control Dish except without the useless placemat. Smartcat Portion Control Food Dish with Placemat Smart Cat
We bought this bowl to slow down how our cats eat. One cat barfs when she eats even a little food too fast. The other cat dives into the bowl and eats everything as fast as he can leaving nothing for the other cats or for a snack later. It's not difficult for me to put food in the dish but it is also not very difficult for the cats to get it out. The cats figured out immediately that they had to reach inside and bat the food out so they could eat it. The dish is working really well so far with the barfer cat. It is not working with the binge-eater. The dish is really light so it took the binge-eater less than one minute to figure out that he could tip the dish and dump out all the food. Nailing the dish to a 2x4 will fix that. They still get the food out pretty fast. The dish could be a little wider or taller so they would need to stretch a little to reach the food. My cats have just average reach and they don't need to stretch at all to reach the food. Maybe the doorways the food comes out could also be a little smaller so they would need to work a little longer to get the food out.
The advertising on the box goes on and on about saving money on cat food which makes no sense. They still eat the amount and brand that I put in the bowl. Even binge-eater hasn't figured out how to get into the cupboard and take the clothespins off the top of the bag. The dish, if it worked, would just make him eat it slower.
